Mexico Photos, 2005: Oaxaca, Huatulco, and Mexico City
Mexico is a land of endless charm and beauty, not to mention some of the best food on earth. In 2005, we took our family to Oaxaca, Mexico with visits to Huatulco and Mexico City. Here are a few of the scenes we saw.

Police officer checking a suspicious looking newcomer to town. Is this a gringo from Wisconsin? Who knows?
Mexican girls gather around another cow statue. Cows are cool, as we Wisconsin folks know.
Passers-by wonder at another sign of cow infestation on the streets of Oaxaca. This can happen anywhere, folks. Stay calm.

I love the sense of balance that many local Oaxacans seem to have. Here early in the morning a woman carries produce on her head, gracefully and casually.
Beautiful palm-like plants. I believe this is called a banana palm.
Rocks on the shore near Huatulco. A beautiful coastline.
Jewelry and trinkets on sale in the downtown market at Oaxaca. Love the colors and excitement there!
